Working With Diversity in Counselling
Two consecutive Saturdays TRAINING EVENT
14th April and 21st April 2012
Registration 9.30 – Prompt Start 10.00 End 4:00
This training is designed for all counselling and psyc hotherapy practitioners who are involved in one to one and group work practice. It will be spread over two consecutive Saturdays to provide an unhurried, safe and constructive space to explore challenges that we meet in working with issues of difference and diversity. You can expect to have your awareness deepened and your skills and theoretical knowledge broadened by the two days input. The training will be led by Dr Aileen Alleyne, who is both an experienced practitioner and clinical supervisor in private practice. The training will be facilitated through a mixture of theoretical input, group discussion, role play and experiential exercises. The new transcultural counselling DVD which is part made and produced by the trainer will be used as a key training tool. Participants will be encouraged to share their expertise and experiences that connect with the theme of the day.
